Kei Nishikori has admitted that he may not have long left in tennis after revealing his comeback plans following hip surgery. Nishikori's last ATP Tour appearance was at Indian Wells in October 2021, since which time he has been away from the court trying to solve a hip problem.
Novak Djokovic has been told he has several things he needs to move on from before becoming victorious once more. Former world No 1 Justine Henin outlined the five "emotional shocks" he has suffered in the last few seasons as she warned fans the Serb wasn't "a machine" but threw her support behind Djokovic's ability to overcome his past setbacks.
Iga Swiatek marked her first match as world number one with an 18th straight victory as she steered Poland closer to the Billie Jean King Cup Finals on Friday. The 20-year-old swept past 123rd-ranked Mihaela Buzarnescu 6-1, 6-0 in just 55 minutes on the back of five service breaks as the Poles opened a 2-0 lead over Romania in their qualifier in Radom. Swiatek went into the qualifier on a hot streak, putting together 17 successive wins on her way to titles in Doha, Indian Wells and Miami.
Justine Henin has slammed Alexander Zverev, Nick Kyrgios and Daniil Medvedev for their recent on court outbursts in the wake of an ATP crackdown on unsportsmanlike behaviour. Zverev was withdrawn from the Mexico Open in February when he smashed an umpire's chair with his racket and the seven-time Major champion believes the world No 3 should have been banned from competition following the incident.
Swiatek will play her first match as world number one when she leads Poland against Romania in the Billie Jean King Cup this weekend, desperate to improve her record on home ground. Swiatek, the first ever Pole to ascend to the top of the rankings, lost both singles matches she played the last time she appeared in front of her own crowd in a 2019 play-off against Ukraine. "The last couple of years have shown that it's not easy to play with your home crowd because it's the same kind of pressure you feel," said the 20-year-old on Thursday who was still outside the top 60 three years ago.
A clampdown on misconduct in the wake of recent on-court outbursts from Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Zverev is raising fears players will become emotionless «computers and machines».
Former men's tennis world No. 1 Boris Becker hopes players do not turn into emotionless "computers and machines" following the ATP's warning that there will be stricter punishment for on-court misconduct in the wake of a spate of angry outbursts.
Boris Becker hopes players do not turn into emotionless "computers and machines" following the ATP's warning that there will be stricter punishment for on-court misconduct in the wake of a spate of angry outbursts. Alexander Zverev was thrown out of a tournament in Acapulco in February after smashing his racket against the umpire's chair during an expletive-laden tirade, while Nick Kyrgios was fined for his outbursts at Indian Wells and Miami last month. Becker, who had many angry outbursts during his career, said the sport needed players to show emotion on court.
